Catherine Wheel - Texture

[yammie75]

Toronto radio station CFNY 102.1 FM (now The Edge) had this on a compilation they put out to clubs in 1991. However, the Catherine Wheel song was supposed to be "I Want To Touch You". I'm glad of the mistake, 'cuz this is the better song. Shakespeare's Sister is also on that tape! lol

[Tonnygun]

This album is melancholic as fuck, plus i used to listen to it a lot when i was in my early twenties= MELANCHOLY EXTREME

[nascot10]

this was on 'blue bloods' the other day...quality

[mikosh08]

This whole album is just great! One of my all time favourites. And I've seen them live in Clapham Grand, '91/2, not sure (not even of the venue). It was long time ago...

[pigyob]

This album was the best of '92 by far

[nadastarr]

one of the best live shows i've seen, Great American Music Hall (not sure of the year-1999/2001? but damn did they sound better and more intense than the record and the record is still one of my favorites

[19AC76]

Catherine Wheel and Faith no More. Two of my favourite bands from the 90s.

[AriaNova1]

I wake up everyday with this song.

[SaraFShirazi]

Damn, Damn Damn......... and I've never seen them live. One grrrrrrrrrreat band I sadly never saw. They're absolutely incredible.I cannot say it enough.....they always give me goosebumps; I feel them through every fiber of my being.

[larrymyclown]

I am not much of a guitar fan but these guys had two fantastic albums

[bremen93]

Still shoegaze, but harder and with more edge. Kind of an interesting take on the genre.

[poptart419]

Damn these guys got their shit together they were at least 9 years ahead of the game when they came out with this song and this whole album

[hostileroots]

I saw them at Metro in Chicago in about 92, great band live and on record!

[Voidspirits]

To give you more - Texture

[struisvogel2]

Dave Hawes used to be my penpal for years. A great guy! And what a great band!

[evocrim]

I thought I'd found it... I Wanna Touch You by Catherine Wheel form the first album Ferment... but, alas... nooooooooooooo... not there: you're killing me.

[salparadise1971]

Reminds me of my old bedroom in my mum and dads house.Coming down from Madchester.Apart from Stone Roses I would say Catherine Wheel,Ride,House of Love trounced Madchester

[klunky]

sounded classic in 1990, sounds classic in 2009

[Nick305720520]

@klunky too bad this came out in 1992 lol this is an awesome song.

[klunky]

@Nick305720520 hey, it was 20 years ago, my memory is fuzzy, but you get my point

[Nick305720520]

@klunky true i got ya lol

[walter19745]

EPIC..... this song introduced me to what is today still my all time fav Band

[festyxfi]

Great song. An old roommate got me into these guys in the late 90's. She had better taste in music than me at the time. This song still hold up today IMHO.

[The100thAttempt]

Is this record actually sold anywhere at this time? Time for a rerelease?

[ZDrums24]

i just checked amazon. they have it, so maybe you can order it from your local cd shop?

[sunburstdj]

It was released in early 1990.

This was a band so far ahead of their time. I miss the CW. Rob Dickenson is solo now and has two amazing albums out.

[456frenchie]

Excellent! I miss these guys.

[TheRealPeople1]

amazing band

excellent album

[Metalefty67]
